I don't want to jinx it, but you might find you have to drill some drainage holes anyway. Water is a sly opponent! I'd keep an eye on that. If it's a totally sealed box, I would be inclined to at least put some dessicant in there to absorb the moisture that's trapped in the air inside, otherwise you might get condensation issues from the outside temperature fluctuations. > It looks like I need to put a fan inside to help natural > convection to shift the air from the Pi to the heatsink. Is there a heatsink on the Pi's CPU? If there isn't, that would be fairly easy to add and would probably go a long way, if it is a thermal issue.
